the skulls

Monday, August 31st, 2009

When an upper-crust secret society called the Skulls asks Luke to join, he eagerly accepts, thinking that the club’s connections will help him gain acceptance to Harvard. [1]

View company contact information for The Skulls on IMDbPro. [2]

The Skulls is full of nonsense and empty of good script and plot. [3]

Born and raised in a working-class Connecticut community, Luke McNamara (Joshua Jackson) made it into an Ivy League college, where he’s done quite well; his dream is to be accepted into Harvard Law School, but he knows that it will take more than a good report card to beat out the competition. [1]

After Luke passes the first part of the initiation process, he has a falling out with Chloe when she realizes that he has become a Skull. [4]

The movie was critically panned, but successful enough to spawn two direct-to-video sequels, The Skulls II, directed by Joe Chappelle and starring Robin Dunne, Ashley Lyn Cafagna and The Skulls III, with Clare Kramer as the first woman member of the society. [1]

One of their selections is Luke McNamara (Joshua Jackson), a local working-class boy and star of the crew team. [3]

As a member of the skulls, Luke is partnered with Caleb Mandrake (Paul Walker), and the two eventually strike up a friendship. [...] Its plot is based upon some of the conspiracy theories surrounding Yale University ’s Skull and Bones student society. [4]

Yale is never mentioned by name during the film, but there are plenty of references: - At the boat race, every team is mentioned by its school name, except for “The Bulldogs.” [2]

Caleb’s father Litten Mandrake (Craig T. Nelson) is the current Chairman of the Skulls, and his partner Senator Ames Levritt (William Petersen) takes an interest in Luke. [4]

THE SKULLS is a creepy blending of conspiracy thriller ideas, based on the actual Skull & Bones Fraternity at Yale, which included screenwriter John Pogue as a member. [3]

However the night after Luke is tapped Will asks him when Caleb Mandrake and his seven new friends walk in if he will introduce them. [...] The Yale secret society Skull & Bones uses the number 322 as an identifier on many of its symbols. [2]

After the two college students take their paces and turn around, Luke drops his gun and tries to convince Caleb of the truth, being that he is not responsible for Will’s murder. [4]

thomas haden church

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Famous for his role as the loveable nitwit mechanic, Lowell Mather, on the long-running sitcom, ‘Wings’ (NBC, 1990-97), actor Thomas Haden Church first broke into show business as a radio deejay and voice-over announcer. [1]

Thomas Haden Church won an Oscar nomination for his ripe comic turn as Jack, the aging and philandering actor in the 2004 comedy Sideways. [2]

Thomas Haden Church (born Thomas R. McMillen; June 17, 1960) is an American actor. [3]

Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden church give memorable performances that screams Oscar nods. [4]

After co-starring in the 1990s sitcom Wings, Church became well known for his film roles, including his Academy Award-nominated performance in Sideways and his role as the Sandman in Spider-Man 3. [3]

Born in Texas, Church began his show business career in front of a microphone instead of a camera, first as a radio deejay and then as a voice-over announcer. [5]

He took a break from acting to write and direct the goofy 2002 independent film Rolling Kansas, called a “stoner road movie” by the All Movie Guide. [2]

With our Resume service you can add photos and build a complete resume to help you achieve the best possible presentation on the IMDb. [5]

He was raised in Laredo, Texas and graduated from Harlingen High School, Harlingen, Texas in 1979, going on to attend the University of North Texas. [3]

At director Sam Raimi ’s request, Church worked out in a gym for more than six months and put on more than ten pounds of muscle to play the lead villain Flint Marko/Sandman in Spider-Man 3 (2007). [5]

Church left ‘Wings’ in 1995 to headline his own short-lived series on rival Fox, the underappreciated ‘Ned and Stacey’ (Fox, 1995-97). [...] On the heels of his triumphant comeback, Church subsequently landed the primo role as the sinister super-villain Sandman in the summer blockbuster, ‘Spider-Man 3′ (2007). [...] The third of six children, Church graduated from Harlingen High School and earned a degree in Radio, Film and Television from the University of North Texas. [1]

One of the best movies of 2004 is a little film called “Sideways,” which made me smile. [4]

Church was already known to TV audiences as Lowell Mather, the none-too-bright Nantucket mechanic on the situation comedy Wings (1990-95). [2]

All that Brandon Deaderick did during the 2008 season was lead Alabama in quarterback hurries (seven), finish second in sacks (four), and wind up fifth in tackles for a loss (five and a half). [1]

OUTLOOK: One of six returning starters in Alabama front seven, Brandon Deaderick established himself as a play-making defensive end for the Crimson Tide in 2008 and will again play a major role as a senior… has played in 34 career contests while making 21 starts… registered 60 career tackles with 8.5 tackles for loss and six sacks… he provides a dangerous pass rush off the edge with a good combination of speed and strength… won the Billy Neighbors Defensive Lineman Award during spring practice in 2009. [2]

There may not have been a more improved player in 2007 than Brandon Deaderick. [3]

Brandon Deaderick is by far one of the top five most talented prospects in the state of Kentucky this season. [4]

Even though University of Alabama defensive end Brandon Deaderick became a starter last season when teammate Bobby Greenwood went down with an ankle injury, he wanted more. [5]

When teams have to eliminate both the his side and the middle (thanks to Cody), it makes the job of the Bama defense that much easier. [1]

In the rushing defense schemes his job is to try to occupy multiple blockers, freeing up the linebackers to make plays. [3]

The seven starts, two sacks and 22 tackles were a nice and important step, but he didn’t quite make the impact he coveted or desired. [5]

Mississippi: Deaderick turned in his best game of the season to date with five tackles and a sack for a loss of five yards… his sack came on the Rebels’ final drive with roughly 1:45 left on the clock. [...] Arkansas State: Deaderick turned in one of the best games of his career against the Red Wolves with a career-high six tackles, 2.5 TFL (-8) and 1.5 sacks (-7)… led a Crimson Tide defense that surrendered just 158 total yards and recorded 10 tackles for loss and four sacks. [2]

“Alabama, Louisville, Auburn, and Michigan State.” [4]

And that reliability is likely what gives the Bama coaching staff cause for running out there at right defensive end in every game. [1]

The wildcard in that could possibly be Lorenzo Washington if Bama can find someone else to man the nose guard position, allowing Lorenzo to move to DE. [3]

“I narrowed the list of schools that are hot on me that have a stronger rotation and have a need for a player like me. [4]
